The building has retained its industrial character, which has been integrated with modern premises adapted for lectures, group work, and a quiet study environment.
On campus, you will find a library, plenty of study spaces, and several places to have lunch or a coffee break. The building has several student kitchens where you can heat up your lunch box and eat together with others. The building also houses study and career guidance services and other student support functions.
